Ever feel like there’s money hiding in your couch cushions? Well, it might actually be hiding in the CRA’s vault! A recent report reveals that Canadians have over $1.7 billion in uncashed cheques and rebates just sitting there, waiting to be claimed.
From tax refunds to GST credits and child benefits, some of these payments date as far back as 1998. Whether you moved houses and forgot to update your address or a paper cheque simply got lost in the mail, that “lost” money still belongs to you—and the best part? Government cheques never expire!
Reclaiming your cash is easier than you think. Just log into your CRA My Account and look for the “Uncashed cheques” link under “Related services.” It’s like a digital treasure hunt where you’re the winner. Don’t leave your hard-earned money behind—go get it!
